Answer 1

With the Keyboard Shortcuts UI open (from the Gear icon), click on the odd Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON) icon on the right of the tab bar (or trigger the exact same command from the Command Palette).

In that file you will find something like:

{
  "key": "ctrl+e",
  "command": "-workbench.action.quickOpen"
},

(just do a find for that command). Delete that negated keybinding - note the leading - before the command which removes it (or comment it out) and it will reactivate.
